    To Paint or Not to Paint?

    Thanks JT! I think I'll probably paint it all, i know if i don't do it now I'll be pissed off at myself, and once all junk is back in there it pretty much makes it impossible to do it later.

    i dunno about the 2012 code, but i know the 2009 code required arc faults for bedrooms when we built our new house. Think it was the same year those tamper proof receptacles came out.

    Had trouble finding concrete guys, ended up spending most of the winter working, but found some time to hang the clean burn furnace & get the tin on ceiling put up. We also got the walls insulated and OSB hung, didn't get any pics of it though.
